Q.
The specific heat at constant volume for the monoatomic argon is 0.075kcal/kg−K, whereas its gram molecular specific heat is CV=2.98cal/molK. The mass of the carbon atom is
Molar specific heat = Molecular weight x gram specific heat. CV=M×cV 2.98cal/mol−K=M×0.075kcal/kg−K =103M×0.075×103cal/g−K ∴ Molecular weight of argon, M=0.0752.98=39.7g
i.e. mass of 6.023×1023 atom =39.7g
Therefore, mass of single atom =6.023×102339.7 =6.60×10−23g
